thank you

As more and more of my extended family and friends learn about my diagnosis, the circle of support grows and grows. Words of encouragement are coming in from all corners. This has become apparent especially in the recent days. For my mother, I think this new found source of support has been particularly meaningful. As you can imagine, it has been particularly difficult on my parents and I think the support of everyone will be needed even more so in the coming weeks as the treatment progresses.

Many of my classmates back in Chicago have been great. Thank you, guys. To my BSF fanclub (you know who you are), I want to thank you all too. You have all been amazing. I also want to thank the parents at Chapin, who have called and offered their support. They too have been amazing. Honestly, my family and I have been overwhelmed by their generosity. Thank you.

I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in late 2003, but it wasn't until after learning about my first relapse in the summer of 2005 at which time I discovered the dozens of inspirational stories of other survivors on the Internet that I decided to make this blog a reality. Since 2007, I've been cancer-free. I hope that cancer survivors and their families will be able to take something from this that will help them in their own journey.
